Platta Turquoise
The Platta Turquoise is a handmade wall and floor tile measuring 7.5 x 15 cm and 1.5 cm thick, and comes from one of our factories in Fez, Morocco. The surface is glossy and vibrant with beautiful color nuances. Each tile you remove from the box is unique. Minor blemishes, limescale marks, and fluctuating color tones are inherent in the product and are not considered defects.
The rustic look can be perfectly combined with a modern interior, making them particularly ideal for kitchens, toilets, hallways, or bathrooms.
Good to know
Platta tiles are handmade wall and floor tiles from Morocco. The pure clay washed up from the Atlas Mountains is mixed with only water, then shaped and sun-dried. They are then fired in an olive pit kiln. This labor-intensive process gives the tiles their distinctive appearance and interesting character.
Because pure clay is processed, it contains lime pits that regularly appear on the surface of the tile or in the glaze. This causes small irregularities in the thickness of the tile and on the surface. This is inherent in the product and does not constitute a defect.
Zelliges can only be used as wall tiles. For flooring, we recommend our Plattas and Bejmat tiles.
Laying Plattas
Moroccan tiles require special attention during installation; we have prepared specific installation instructions for this purpose. We recommend that you read them carefully before installing the tiles. Or hire a qualified tiler who is familiar with this type of tile.
Suitable for
Plattas can be installed both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor use, under a roof, protected from water and sun. If water penetrates the tiles, severe frost can cause cracks in the glaze.
The surface is irregular, with sharp edges rarely seen. They are ideal tiles for your hallway, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen. Plattas are also very suitable for hotels and restaurants.
Colors and sizes
Plattas are available in many different colors. Each batch is different. Even the tiles within a box may vary in color and shape. This is due to the production process and does not constitute a defect. Plattas are shaped and cut by hand into various sizes and shapes.

maintenance
Plattas have a hard top layer and are easy to maintain. Weekly mopping or cleaning with an all-purpose cleaner is recommended. Preferably use an acid-free product that is not too greasy.
For heavy soiling, we recommend using AZULE Dirt Remover. This powerful degreaser can tackle most types of dirt on various tile types.
